A jail deputy for the Walton County Sheriff's Office was arrested Sunday on a DUI charge in Oconee County.

Chanla M. Adler, 41, of Watkinsville was stopped about 9 p.m. on Union Church Road in connection with a domestic disturbance investigation when the deputy detected alcohol. The deputy gave Adler a series of sobriety tests, according to the sheriff's report.

No charges were made in connection with the initial call, but Adler was charged with DUI.

Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman said Wednesday that Adler could be fired if she is convicted.

"It's unfortunate the thing happened, but we'll have to wait and see what the court of law says," Chapman said.
